Answer to Problem 35A

The composition of substances is studied under analytical chemistry. And the environmental impact of chemistry is studied under environmental chemistry.

Explanation of Solution

The composition of substances is studied under analytical chemistry. And the environmental impact of chemistry is studied under environmental chemistry.

In analytical chemistry, studies and uses of instruments, and methods that separate two components, identify, and quantify matter are practiced. In environmental chemistry, studies of chemical processes occurring in water, air, terrestrial and living environments and how human activities are affecting them are practiced.

Conclusion

Hence, composition of substances is studied under analytical chemistry. And the environmental impact of chemistry is studied under environmental chemistry.
